To Shareholders and, for information only, to persons with information rights
Dear Shareholder
Notice of General Meeting in connection with allotment of New Ordinary Shares in connection with the proposed Combination of the Company with substantially all of Eni S.p.A.'s UK Upstream Oil and Gas Assets
On 23 April 2024, Ithaca Energy plc ("Ithaca Energy" or the "Company") and Eni S.p.A. ("Eni") announced that Ithaca Energy had reached agreement on the terms of a proposed combination with Eni in relation to most of the upstream oil and gas assets of Eni in the UK (the "Eni UK Group") in exchange for the issue of ordinary shares in Ithaca Energy to a subsidiary of Eni, Eni UK Limited ("Eni UK") (the "Combination"), such that at completion of the Combination ("Completion"), Eni UK will be issued ordinary shares representing approximately 38.6 per cent. of the enlarged issued share capital of Ithaca Energy (the "New Ordinary Shares"), which such percentage is subject to the sell-down arrangements as described in further detail in paragraph 2 (DKL Energy Sell-Down) below.
The value of the consideration for the Combination is £759 million, based on the number of New Ordinary Shares to be issued and the share price of 118.8 pence per Ordinary Share as at 23 April 2024 (being the latest practicable date prior to the Announcement).
The Combination is expected to create a dynamic UKCS growth player with the largest resource base in the UKCS1 with the organic growth potential to become the largest producer in the UKCS by 2030.2 With a portfolio of scale, balance and significant optionality and increased financial strength, the Combination creates a strategic platform to unlock both organic and inorganic growth through the execution of the Ithaca Energy Group's BUY, BUILD and BOOST strategy. Further details of the Combination and the business combination agreement entered into between Ithaca Energy, Eni UK and Eni Energy Group Holdings Limited (the "Eni Energy Seller"), both subsidiaries of Eni (the "Business Combination Agreement") are set out in the Prospectus which is expected to be published later today by the Company.
The Combination requires a Resolution to be passed at a general meeting of the Company (the "General Meeting"), approving the allotment and issue of the New Ordinary Shares to Eni UK (or such other member of the Eni Group as Eni may notify to the Company). The General Meeting to approve this matter is scheduled to take place at 3 p.m. on 11 September 2024, and Shareholders can
1 Note: Welligence, NSAI Ithaca Energy CPR and NSAI Eni CPR. Welligence's view of remaining reserves and resources is based on all producing/sanctioned assets in projects where they have confidence that they will progress and line of sight to FID.
2 Note: Wood Mackenzie as at 26 March 2024, NSAI Ithaca Energy CPR and NSAI Eni CPR, each as at 30 June 2024.
participate online via the Lumi platform. There will also be an option for Shareholders to attend in person. I will be participating online via the Lumi platform, with my fellow Board members. As the meeting will be optimised for an online experience, we will not be present in person and we encourage you to join the meeting online as well. If you choose to attend in person, we will have a room available at Meeting Room 6, P&J Live, East Burn Road, Stoneywood, Aberdeen, AB21 9FX, which will be connected electronically to the meeting. You will find the Notice of General Meeting set out in Part 2 (Notice of General Meeting) of this Circular.
As Eni UK will hold approximately 38.6 per cent. of the voting rights of Ithaca Energy at completion of the Combination, which such percentage is subject to the sell-down arrangements as set out in paragraph 2 (DKL Energy Sell-Down), a mandatory offer would normally be required under Rule 9 of the Takeover Code. However, given that DKL Energy, the Company's existing majority Shareholder, will still hold shares carrying more than 50 per cent. of the voting rights following Completion, the Panel has granted a dispensation from Rule 9 pursuant to note 5(b) of Rule 9 under the Takeover Code. Accordingly, Completion will not be conditional upon and will not require approval by Ithaca Energy's independent Shareholders in relation to a Rule 9 waiver.
The purpose of this letter is to explain why the Board considers that the Resolution to be proposed at the General Meeting is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, and to seek your approval of the Resolution. This Circular is to be read in conjunction with the Prospectus containing further details of the Combination, which is expected to be published later today by the Company.
Shareholders will find definitions for capitalised terms used in this letter and the rest of this document in Part 3 (Definitions) of this Circular.
As a consequence of the issue of the New Ordinary Shares to Eni UK, and Ithaca Energy's existing shareholding structure, the Combination would result in the number of ordinary shares in public hands being below the minimum 10 per cent. as required by the UK Listing Rules. Therefore, in order to ensure that the number of ordinary shares in public hands remains at or above 10 per cent., DKL Energy has undertaken to use reasonable endeavours to sell down such number of Ordinary Shares representing approximately 3 per cent. of the enlarged issued ordinary share capital of the Company prior to Completion (the "DKL Energy Sell Down").
Upon completion of the DKL Energy Sell Down, immediately following Admission, (assuming that there are no further issues of Ordinary Shares between the Latest Practicable Date and Admission), Eni UK will hold 38.6 per cent. of the Ordinary Shares in the Company. As such, Eni UK also will be deemed to be a controlling Shareholder of Ithaca Energy and, in compliance with the UK Listing Rules, will prior to Admission, enter into a relationship agreement with the Company, alongside Eni UK's parent company Eni.
At the same time, DKL Energy proposes to enter into a call option agreement with Eni UK pursuant to which DKL Energy will have the option to require Eni UK, within three (3) months of Admission, to transfer to DKL Energy such number of New Ordinary Shares as represents approximately 1.4 per cent. of the enlarged issued Ordinary Share capital of the Company (the "Call Option"). In the event that the Call Option is exercised by DKL Energy, Ithaca Energy will update Shareholders with a publication through the RNS system, detailing the number of New Ordinary Shares sold pursuant to the Call Option, and the new shareholdings in the Company for both DKL Energy and Eni UK.
Further details of the Call Option are set out in Part 6 of the Prospectus.
The Company has received irrevocable undertakings from each of the Directors who hold Ordinary Shares, to vote (or to procure the vote) in favour of the Resolution to be proposed at the General Meeting in respect of the Ordinary Shares currently registered or beneficially held by them as well as any further Ordinary Shares which they may become the registered or beneficial owner of prior to the date of the General Meeting, representing, in aggregate, approximately 0.02 per cent. of the existing issued Ordinary Share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date (the "Director Irrevocable Undertakings").
The Director Irrevocable Undertakings cease to be binding on the earlier of the following occurrences: (i) the Business Combination Agreement being terminated in accordance with its terms; or (ii) the Combination having not become effective by 23:59 on the Long Stop Date.
In addition, the Company has received an irrevocable undertaking from DKL Energy to vote (or to procure the vote) in favour of the Resolution to be proposed at the General Meeting, representing approximately 88.5 per cent. of the total votes which could be cast at the General Meeting by Shareholders who are entitled to vote based on the entire issued Ordinary Share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date (the "DKL Energy Irrevocable Undertaking").
The DKL Energy Irrevocable Undertaking lapses and ceases to be binding on the earlier of the following occurrences: (i) the Business Combination Agreement being terminated in accordance with its terms; (ii) the announcement by a third party of its firm intention to make an offer for the entire issued and to be issued share capital of the Company; (iii) the Directors (other than Itshak Sharon Tshuva and Idan Wallace, or any other director that has been nominated to the board of the Company pursuant to the terms of the Delek Relationship Agreement) withdrawing or modifying their recommendation to vote in favour of the Resolution; (iv) any material term or condition of the transaction set out in the Announcement being revised without Delek's consent; or (v) the Combination having not become effective by 23:59 on the Long Stop Date.
The Company has therefore received irrevocable undertakings to vote in favour of the Resolution at the General Meeting in respect of Ordinary Shares representing in aggregate 88.5 per cent. of the existing issued Ordinary Share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date.
A summary of the Resolution is set out below.
An ordinary resolution to authorise the Directors to allot and issue the New Ordinary Shares to Eni UK (or such other member of the Eni Group as Eni may notify to the Company) in connection with the Combination.
The full text of the Resolution and other matters is set out in the Notice of General Meeting contained in Part 2 (Notice of General Meeting) of this Circular. If the Resolution is not passed, the Business Combination Agreement will terminate, and the Combination will not proceed.
Your support is important to us. We ask that you please vote on the Resolution.
The guide for electronic participation in the General Meeting for Shareholders follows the Notice of the General Meeting and is contained in Part 4 (Lumi Participation Guide) on page 14 of this Circular. The meeting ID, your unique Shareholder Reference Number (SRN) and PIN, which will be required to join the meeting, can all be found in the Form of Proxy. During the webcast, you will be able to participate online using your smartphone, tablet or computer; see and hear the Executive Chair speak; engage online in the Q&A session; and vote during the meeting in respect of your holding.
Shareholders may also submit questions relating to the business of the meeting online in written form or by telephone during the meeting, or in advance by emailing the Company Secretary at [email protected].
At Ithaca Energy, safety is paramount and that extends to the safety of our Shareholders. The appropriate forum for engagement at the General Meeting will be the online Q&A session. Electronic devices must not be used for recording or filming and any directions provided in the General Meeting concerning the use of such devices must be adhered to. We will not permit behaviour that may interfere with anyone's security, safety or the good order of the meeting and proportionate measures may be implemented at the meeting, if necessary. We will carry out security checks and bag searches for those attending the General Meeting in person. Any person who interferes with anyone's security, safety or their ability to listen to proceedings or participate in the General Meeting may be removed from the venue without notice. Disruptive behaviour or messages on the Lumi platform will be ignored.
Whether or not you intend to participate electronically, you are asked to submit a proxy vote. If you hold your Ordinary Shares in certificated form, your proxy vote must be submitted at www.investorcentre.co.uk/eproxy so as to be received by the Registrar by no later than 3 p.m. on 9 September 2024 (or, in the case of an adjournment, no later than 48 hours before the time fixed for the holding of the adjourned meeting). If you hold your Ordinary Shares in the Ithaca Corporate Sponsored Nominee, your Ordinary Shares are held on your behalf by Computershare Investor Services PLC. Your proxy vote must be submitted at www.investorcentre.co.uk/eproxy so as to have been received by the Registrar by no later than 3 p.m. on 9 September 2024 (or, in the case of an adjournment, no later than 48 hours before the time fixed for the holding of the adjourned meeting). If you hold your Ordinary Shares in uncertificated form through CREST, you may also choose to use the CREST electronic proxy appointment service in accordance with the procedures set out in the Notice of General Meeting set out in Part 2 (Notice of General Meeting) of this Circular.
Completion of a Form of Proxy will not preclude you from joining and voting electronically at the General Meeting via the Lumi platform if you so wish.
The New Ordinary Shares will be issued to Eni UK credited as fully paid free from all encumbrances and will rank pari passu in all respects with the Existing Ordinary Shares then in issue from Admission, including the right to receive and retain in full all dividends and other distributions (if any) announced, declared, made or paid, or any other return of value (whether by reduction of share capital or share premium account or otherwise).
Applications will be made to the FCA for the New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to the ESCC category of the Official List and to the London Stock Exchange for the New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on the Main Market. Given that Completion is conditional on the FCA and the London Stock Exchange having confirmed to the Company that its applications for Admission have been approved, if Admission does not occur, the Business Combination Agreement will terminate, and the Combination will not proceed.
Fractions of New Ordinary Shares will not be allotted or issued to Eni UK, and entitlements will be rounded down to the nearest whole Ordinary Share.
No application has been made, or is currently intended to be made, by the Company for the New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to listing or trading on any other exchange. Further details on settlement, listing and dealing will be included in the Prospectus.
You are advised to read the whole of this document and the Prospectus in respect of the Combination and Admission, as well as the information incorporated by reference in the Prospectus, and not merely rely on the summarised information contained in Part 1 (Letter from the Executive Chair) of this Circular.
The results of the votes cast at the General Meeting will be announced as soon as possible once known through a Regulatory Information Service and on the Ithaca Energy website at www.ithacaenergy.com. It is expected that this will be on 11 September 2024.
Copies of the following documents are available for inspection in person at the Company's registered office address at 33 Cavendish Square, London, England, W1G 0PP, in each case upon request during usual business hours on any weekday (Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays excepted) and (with the exception of the Business Combination Agreement) on the Company's website at www.ithacaenergy.com from the date of this Circular up to and including the date of the General Meeting and for the duration of the General Meeting:
The Directors consider that the allotment and issue of the New Ordinary Shares to Eni UK in connection with the Combination is in the best interests of Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of the Resolution, as the Directors holding Ordinary Shares intend to do (or procure to be done), in respect of their beneficial holdings, representing in aggregate approximately 0.02 per cent. of the entire issued Ordinary Share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date.
Yours faithfully,
Yaniv Friedman Executive Chair
